Spohn torque arm with swap X member

Does anyone have some good pics of how they modded there long tube hedder cross member to use the spohn torque arm. I will probably be doing some time and would like some ideas. also has anybody put a front driveshaft loop on or is that just way to much stuff in a small aria.

Re: Spohn torque arm with swap X member

Well, I won't be using a Spohn torque arm (mine's going to be a Trak-Pak), but I'll be using a "bastardized" set of Hooker long-tubes that are modified to fit the Gen-IV exhaust ports, along with a Spohn T-56 crossmember. Hopefully I'll even be able to fit a halfway-decently-sized exhaust under there as well - wish me luck!

I'm planning on taking plenty of pictures, so if there's something you're wanting to see, speak up, & I'll do what I can...

Re: Spohn torque arm with swap X member

Well I already have a spohn cross member Ive been thinking about buying a drews style to fit the exaust without loosing ground clearence. but there is no torque arm mount or safty loops on any cross members of this style so I would have to add them or change my torque arm setup. Witch I have been debating on buying the jegs one that goes it the trans tunnel or another simmaler design. But I would really like to see some pics of how people mounted there spohn torque arm to a drews style cross member. I've seen some instaled pics but with the exaust in the way it was hard to see.

So anyhow if you do end up with a nice y pipe that dosen't kill ground clearance I would like to see that and I might keed my curent crossmember setup.
